Mi-kaisha

R&B soul artist, Mi-kaisha, grew up on the streets of Sydney’s music scene. The soundtrack of her childhood included soulful tunes from the 90s and island tunes from her father’s Koori Radio Hip-Hop show ‘Island Hopping’. Mi-kaisha is a Darumbal & Tongan woman, who was born and raised in Sydney’s south.

She is a ‘city girl through and through’ and her lyrics represent hard-hitting, often political messages about being a young Aboriginal & Tongan woman in Australia.  She is the woman she is today, because of the strong women in her community who have raised her to be unapologetic in everything she does. She draws her inspiration from Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys and the like.

Mi-kaisha is the first Indigenous Australian student to be accepted into the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, New York University.
